LACOVIA, St Elizabeth — Against the backdrop of recent homicides here linked to domestic violence, including last week’s gruesome murder of 50-year-old Nicole Brown and another case of a mother allegedly stabbing her son, police say they will continue to increase domestic violence interventions in communities.

Police charged Dellode Warren, 39, a resident of Barton Wharf district and Whitehouse, Westmoreland, with Brown’s murder on Sunday, almost a week after he reportedly confessed to strangling her and dumping her body in the Black River, which flows through Lacovia.

Head of the St Elizabeth division, Superintendent Coleridge Minto said that the parish is seeing an increase in murders attributed to interpersonal conflict, most often involving blood relatives or intimate partners.
